"Not only the divine bow, but also this."
Qin Chuan took out a musket, showed it off, and said to Jiang Lianyue.
Before she could raise any questions, he lit the fuse and fired a shot at a sycamore tree not far away. Although the shot was not very powerful, it still managed to knock down a branch, and the sparrows on the branch flew away chirping.
"This matchlock gun, although not as powerful as the composite bow, I'm still improving it. It'll be quite formidable for defending a city, much better than a bow and arrow," Qin Chuan said to himself.
Jiang Lianyue's eyes showed shock, her thin lips were tightly pressed together, and she couldn't say a word.
Besides the divine bow, there were also muskets, and even iron mounts as fast as lightning...
With so many powerful artifacts in Da Gan, Da Jiang is truly doomed this time...
Qin Chuan looked at Xiao Yue and said, "Remove the chains from her. Also, release Jiang Ran. I want to have a good talk with them. Of course, you can join me if you want."
Xiao Yue snorted and glared at him, but still did as he said.
Qin Chuan held the matchlock gun in one hand while watching Xiao Yue get the key to unlock Jiang Lianyue's shackles. Jiang Lianyue was no longer restrained, but she stood obediently in place and did not dare to move.
This is the Dali Temple; she can't escape far even if she wants to...
She also considered kidnapping Xiao Yue or Qin Chuan, but there were several Dali guards standing around, and behind Qin Chuan stood a fierce-looking guard holding a musket. Moreover, apart from some poison and antidote, she had no weapons to take the two of them hostage.
Therefore, the thought of hijacking only flashed through my mind for a moment before disappearing in an instant.
After unlocking Jiang Lianyue's chains, Xiao Yue sent someone to bring Jiang Ran out of the prison.
Jiang Ran was wearing prison clothes. The cinnabar mark on her forehead was gone, her skin had turned pale, and she had lost weight. It seemed that she had suffered some hardships in prison.
Upon seeing Qin Chuan, Jiang Ran smiled inexplicably, her smile still carrying its original alluring charm. "Oh my, Young Master Qin, it's been several months since I last saw you. You've become even more handsome..."
"Jiang Ran!"
Jiang Lianyue was furious to see Jiang Ran being so frivolous, and glared at her with cold eyes.
"Holy Maiden? What are you doing here?"
Upon seeing the Holy Maiden, Jiang Ran was startled, and then greeted Jiang Lianyue.
Jiang Lianyue looked somewhat embarrassed, not wanting to say that she had also been captured by Qin Chuan, but instead pretended to be calm and said, "This Holy Maiden has some matters to discuss with the Prince of Yan and the Princess of Da Gan."
Jiang Ran looked at Qin Chuan with surprise, "Does the Holy Maiden mean that he is the Prince of Yan?"
"Yes, there are some things you don't know while you're in prison. He's no longer just Prince Qin, but the King of Yan. Some time ago, he led his troops to destroy the Southern Xiongnu, and now he's eyeing our Great Jiang, saying he wants to talk to us..."
Jiang Lianyue explained to Jiang Ran, but Jiang Ran couldn't understand many of the things, such as how Qin Chuan managed to wipe out 100,000 Xiongnu light cavalry with only 30,000 troops...
The Holy Maiden didn't have much time to explain to her. Instead, she spoke to Qin Chuan, "What exactly do you want to talk about? You don't actually think that if you release us, we'll be willing to do anything for you, do you?"
“Yes, we are born to be people of Da Jiang, and we will die to be ghosts of Da Jiang!” Jiang Ran said.
Qin Chuan walked ahead, heading straight for the office reserved for the Grand Secretary of the Court of Judicial Review. Xiao Yue glanced at his back and told Jiang Lian Yue and Jiang Ran to follow him.
Once inside, the four of them sat down around the table, and Qin Chuan placed the stun gun on the table.
Upon seeing the stun gun, both women from Jiang Guo instinctively shrank back.
Jiang Lianyue, being quick-witted, quietly picked up the stun gun, intending to do something.
Qin Chuan had already seen through her. "Don't move, put it down. You don't know how to play..."
Jiang Lianyue poked Qin Chuan's chest with the stun gun in frustration. She pursed her thin lips, about to laugh, but found that Qin Chuan was acting as if nothing had happened.
"I told you you don't know how to play."
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes at her and took the stun gun from her hand.
Jiang Lianyue had no choice but to abandon all her little schemes and tricks, and sat obediently, her clothes bulging as if they were about to burst...
Qin Chuan stared at her for a moment, then pointed and said to Xiao Yue, "Look at her, she's actually the same size as you, but she looks twice as big. That's the visual difference caused by clothing..."
Although she didn't understand some of the words, Xiao Yue still knew he was talking about breast size, and immediately glared at him fiercely: "If my royal sister doesn't kill you, I'd kill you! Why are you talking about this instead of getting down to business!"
Jiang Lianyue stared directly at him with her cold eyes, deliberately tugging at her black outfit as if trying to cover herself up.
Jiang Ran straightened her body, looked at her chest, and realized it seemed to have shrunk by a size, which made her feel somewhat discouraged...
"Keep watching!"
Xiao Yue slammed her hand on the table in anger, "Let's get down to business!"
"Oh oh oh..."
Qin Chuan quickly averted his gaze from Jiang Ran's chest and said seriously, "This is my plan: I'll let you two go back to Jiang Kingdom and persuade your emperor to annex it to my Great Gan Kingdom. Anyway, the world will eventually be unified. His Majesty can grant your emperor a title of king or something, and you can continue to serve as officials. Just disband your armies and pay tribute to Great Gan Kingdom every year."
The two women from Jiang were stunned.
They dared not say these things to His Majesty; that would cost them their heads...
Seeing the two women from Jiang Kingdom looking troubled, Qin Chuan continued, "How about this: I'll write a letter, and you can deliver it to the Queen of Jiang Kingdom. Is that alright?"
Jiang Lianyue nodded gently.
"Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone".
Qin Chuan said to Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. Fine, fine, you're ordering this princess around!
Although he was annoyed, he still obediently went to find a writing brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and an envelope.
"Grind the ink."
Qin Chuan looked up at Jiang Lianyue and gestured for her to grind the ink.
Jiang Lianyue glared at him coldly, but still picked up the ink stick and began grinding ink on the inkstone...
Qin Chuan picked up a brush and began writing on the eight-line script:
"Empress Jiang: I am the King of Yan..."
Looking at his handwriting, Xiao Yue and Jiang Lianyue couldn't bear to read it and looked disgusted.
Jiang Ran was blocked by the two women and couldn't see anything at all.
"...That's all I have to say. I advise you, Da Jiang, to merge with my Da Gan, disband your army, and pay Da Gan one million taels of silver annually. You will still be granted the titles of king and marquis, and live a peaceful life. I urge you to think carefully and not choose the wrong path. That's all. Qin Chuan personally wrote this."
After writing on two sheets of paper, Qin Chuan finally finished.
"Written so bluntly?" Xiao Yue's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"If I write it in a straightforward way, everyone will understand."
After speaking, Qin Chuan put the letter into an envelope and sealed it with beeswax.
Jiang Lianyue stood there dumbfounded, her pretty face full of disbelief.
Jiang Ran couldn't help but say, "Young Master Qin... uh, no, Your Highness Prince Yan of Da Gan, aren't you the number one talent in Da Gan? How are we supposed to explain this to His Majesty? If His Majesty sees the first word, he might just chop off the Holy Maiden and my head!"
